1 Plant Life!!!  By : Emily Bass

2 Photosynthesis Photosynthesis- is the process of converting light energy to chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar. To do this plants need water, carbon dioxide, and light energy from the sun. Photosynthesis produces the oxygen we breath.

3 Parts of The Plants…

4 Functions of plants… FLOWERS (female parts)- Flowers have some basic parts. The female part is the pistil. The pistil usually is located in the center of the flower and is made up of three parts: the stigma, style, and ovary. The stigma is the sticky knob at the top of the pistil. It is attached to the long, tube like structure called the style. The style leads to the ovary that contains the female egg cells called ovules.pistilstigma styleovaryovules

6 Plant part functions…  Flower (male parts) The male parts are called stamens and usually surround the pistil. The stamen is made up of two parts: the anther and filament. The anther produces pollen (male reproductive cells). The filament holds the anther up. stamensanther filament

7 Fertilization During the process of fertilization, pollen lands on the stigma, a tube grows down the style and enters the ovary. Male reproductive cells travel down the tube and join with the ovule, fertilizing it. The fertilized ovule becomes the seed, and the ovary becomes the fruit.fertilization

8 Leaves… Leaves are the food making factories of green plants. Leaves are made to catch light and have openings to allow water and air to come and go. The outer surface of the leaf has a waxy coating called a cuticle which protects the leaf. Veins carry water and nutrients within the leaf. cuticle

9 Stem…. Stems carry water and nutrients taken up by the roots to the leaves. Then the food produced by the leaves moves to other parts of the plant. The cells that do this work are called the xylem cells. They move water. The phloem cells move the food. Stems also provide support for the plant allowing the leaves to reach the sunlight that they need to produce food.xylem cellsphloem cells
